System Force IT

Anyone had the misfortune to come across this crowd?

[tech_guy]

Why? What have they done? Pray tell us so that we can be better informed....

 

Accessing their website is a tad slow.

[it_badger]

Just incredibly arrogant, think they know it all, and shout you down instead of listening!

[tech_guy]

Oh, like European ElectronicOrgasm then?

[it_badger]

Actually, yes!! I've had them on the phone too!

 

Extract from SystemForce's website,

 

"System Force I.T has the ability to view and control a clients machine"

 

They've only just discovered MSN Messenger then!

[tech_guy]

Perhaps they feel they have to live up to their name then & be FORCEFUL!?

Accessing their website is a tad slow.

 

Probably due to gimmicks such as "live stats". Why do you need to know your own IP address? Bunch of jokers!

[tech_guy]

EE sold us under-specified & overpriced kit back in 2002. And actually tried to stuff second-hand switches in our cabs that had Open University stickers all over them.....

 

.....will never have them back inside this building again.

Yeah their site is a bit of a mish-mash of stuff isn't it? Doesn't inspire me in any way shape or form.

I was contacted by system force a few weeks ago.

 

Basically they phoned to TELL me I had to open ports on our firewall for Connexions staff, whose systems they support. A more professional company would have politely ASKED me if I was prepared to do this for them.

 

Their arrogance and rudeness was unrivalled. They just think they know best. Some bloke called, Jez offered to "talk me though it, bit by bit" which was somewhat patronising!!

 

I've blocked their domain name from our email system and refuse to deal with them directly.

There website says they develop websites well they don't do a good job with them.

[AnnDroyd]

I particularly like the 'picture can't be displayed' icon on the top of the page!

On their web design page they list software they use...

 

My favourites are Dream Weaver and Coral Draw

What is "Advacne Server Setup"?

 

Client Side Technology includes AJAX. Are they into cleaning PCs?

[webman]

And I didn't think PHP (or CGI) was exclusively Linux technology!

Huh? What's the problem with EE? I've been dealing with them for a year now and they have been superb - providing us excellent pricing and well specced equipment - but then, I spec the machine up and ask for that or similar.

 

What are the problems you have?

We weren't impressed with the service we had back in 2002. Perhaps they've improved since then?

Indeed, that may be so - quotes usually arrive within a couple of hours. Goods usually within a few days. If something is incorrect, they do their upmost to fix it. They've absorbed the cost of mis-sent items a couple of times (ie. said 'keep them, we'll send the correct ones out too'). Might just be Chris that I deal with...
